I'd like to say thank you to all of you who have commented on my writing. All comments were taken very seriously. Especially those that point out intense errors. I take them all seriously, and actually look forward to reading them. You are helping me to become better at this craft.

I am an educator, and have been for as long as I can remember. I enjoy working with youth. I especially enjoy teaching and assisting young people to launch into the big bad world, prepared. People often ask me what I do to de-stress. The answer is through painting, writing, and spending time with my sweet grand babies.

I have often been advised to write a book by soooo many friends and family. The manner in which I verbally tell a story, usualy captures the interest of people. Even when I am speaking on the phone, someone might interrupt me to say, "girl, when are you gonna write your book."

I don't have the best memory, but I can remember almost every detail of almost every experience that was worth remembering. Somehow, I have managed to hold on to them, and they are in my head waiting to be solidified in print. I am even awakened in the wee hours of the morning because a story came to me while sleeping. My goal is to get those stories in print before I leave this earth.

I can only attribute these influxes of details from my past to the one above. I believe that it was pre-ordained for me to write these stories down and share them with the world. I used to ignore these instances, but recently I created a story board, and I now have three pages worth of chapter titles.

So thank you FANSTORY for this platform. I am so honored to be a member.
